+Soma - a dialog internet radio player
+
+For help/usage see soma -h
+
+Soma started off as a way to play .pls playlists from SomaFM but can
+also play .ram playlists too. In fact any url playable by mplayer
+using the -playlist option should work. Extra stations can be added
+in ~/.soma/stations.conf (up to 200).
+
+Soma uses mplayer to play the streams and aplay to detect cards for
+mixer so mplayer and alsa-utils need to be installed.
+
+Key commands supported in status window:
+
+( Volume -5
+) Volume +5
+1 - 0 Volume 10%, 20%, ... 100% (saved)
+Space Pause/Play
+d Disconnect/Reconnect
+a Add schedule
+b Station browser
+m Mute toggle
+s Scheduler
+q Quit
+
+There are 3 config files:
+
+~/.soma/themes/*rcrc Specify the dialog colours.
+~/.soma/options.conf A few extra options.
+~/.soma/stations.conf User station list.
+
+There are also:
+
+/etc/soma/options.conf Default options.
+/etc/soma/themes/*rc Dialog configs.
+/etc/soma/stations.conf Default station list.
+
+Stations should be added to the user list like this:
+
+Name,URL
+
+You cannot use a comma , in the name or URL
+
+I would be glad of any exra radio urls emailed to me so I can add to
+the default list.
+
+NOTES:
+
+The Jack and NAS options for output device will only work if MPlayer is
+built against them.
+
+When changing/selecting soundcard output device you must press space on
+the option. Just scrolling down and hitting Enter does nothing.
+
+BUGS:
+
+Soma may induce the side effects of general well-being and profound
+spiritual satisfaction.

+
+REAL BUGS:
+
+Some people might find screen messes up the dialog colours. If you
+have this line in ~/.screenrc:
+
+attrcolor b ".I"
+
+You might want to comment it out and try again as it seems to turn off
+the bold attribute.
+
+Please mail me at dave@dawoodfall.net for new radio urls or bug
+reports etc.
